[Elphel-support] more about my problems with the HDD

[Oleg]

Carlos,

Could you please repeat steps 3 and 4 from the wiki article?

In step 3 after "*fdisk /dev/hda*":
1. type "*p*" - it will show the existing partitions on the disk. Normally
you should get something like:

Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
> 42 heads, 63 sectors/track, 11075 cylinders, total 29305206 sectors
> Units = sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes
>    Device Boot      Start         End      1K-Blocks  Id System
> /dev/hda1               1    29305205      117220820  83 Linux


If there's nothing try to create one (if it lists hda1 delete it and
recreate):

1. type "*n*", then "*p*" for primary, then "*1*", choose defaults after
that. This should create the partition hda1 or display an error.
2. type "*p*" to check if the partition is created.
3. type "*w*" to save the partition table. Then proceed to the Step 4 from
the wiki article.

are mtdblocks inside hda?

No

Regards,
Oleg Dzhimiev
